Planning a California weekend getaway? Explore this 2-day Tri-Valley itinerary covering wineries, hiking, shopping, craft beer, food and charming downtowns.

New Delhi: Just 30 miles east of San Francisco, three valleys form the picturesque Tri-Valley in the Mount Diablo region of California. And nestled within Tri-Valley are four cities, namely Pleasanton, Livermore, Dublin, and Danville, each with its own unique history and charm.

With its easy accessibility from anywhere in the Bay Area, particularly San Francisco, Tri-Valley is an ideal weekend getaway destination.

Start your day off right with breakfast at Sideboard Neighbourhood Kitchen and Coffee Bar, a stop on the Tri-Valley Caffeine Trail in Danville. They locally source all their ingredients and even have a trendy coffee bar where locals sip and socialise over artisan coffee.
